Rain is falling, and the streets are slick. This Solomon Islands racing game uses a track drawn from the Solomon Islands' coastline, with every corner on Guadalcanal: from Ghalimbere and Marindi past Visale Peak to the Honiara capital territory, along the coast to Aola Bay, Kaoka Bay and Houa, then round through Hautahe, Mbalo and Lauvi Lagoon to finish at Arohaviha Lake.
The Grand Prix of Solomon Islands is a downtown street race, rolling with 19 metres of climb over 3.7 km.

Screenshots from the Solomon Islands circuit
Around the Solomon Islands track
Rain falls on the streets and the leaf houses. The Guadalcanal memorial stands at the centre of the view, a war canoe rests on the shore and stilt houses line the water. Palm-oil plantations fill the flat land behind the thatched Pacific buildings. Pickups and mopeds are parked by the fences, a Welkam banner hangs over the crowd, and the boards read Honiara.

How to drive the Solomon Islands circuit
The main straight runs 530 metres and ends at Ghalimbere, turn 1. The slowest corner, Hautahe, turn 10, is taken at 95 km/h, so this is a quick lap for a street circuit. The catch is the rain: on wet tarmac, the fast corners need a gentle touch on the throttle.
